The Burlington Withdraws from the
Northwest Pool.

CHICAGO, Sept. ga morning paper
says: 1t has leaked out that the Chicago,
Burlington & Northern has given absolute
notice of withdrawal from the Western
and Northwestern railway freight bureau.
The notice of withdrawal is dated Sept.
%, and in accordance with the terms of
the agreement goes into effect fifteen
days from that date. This action OH the
part of the Burlington e. Northern is al
most certain to lead to Il general break
up of the Western and Northwest pool,
which, of course, means still more cut
ting of rates and relentless COM
petition than have prevailed hereto
fore.

MICHIGAN SALT MANUFACTURERS.
Decline to Join the Monopoly Formed
by Eastern Firms.
EAST SAGINAW, Mich. Sept. 21.-The
Michigan salt manufacturers will not
join the National association, as indi-
Gated by the press dispatches from Pitts
burgh. The proposed National associa-
ton is on the same plan as the Standard
Oil and other trust companies, which
would virtually compel salt manufactur-
ers to put their property in the hands of
of the association. Nearly all the salt
works in this state are operated i'll COIL
nection with lumber mills, being entirely
different from the Eastern methods of
manufacturing. The president of the
Michigan Salt association, which controls
the salt product in this state, says the
National association movement was
started last June Mt n conference held at
Syracuse which he attended, and after
informing himself of the nature of the
proposed organization he declined to
even recommend Michigan manufactur-
erS to consider the project.

TIE TranScontinental Fire and MAJ

which the PRESS roasted last week, is
recognizing, or ut least taking in IL
number of Mandan's citizens, and in
referring to the new order of things
the Mandan Pioneer says: ut is utter
toolishness to refer to something said
to have existed i'll the past, as a valid
objection against the company in the
present. This looks to us to be a
virtual acknowledgment on the part
of Editor futile, secretary Of the
company, that there was something
wrong in the past. The article ends
up with q copy of the certificate of
Auditor Ward to the Pierre Insurance
company allowing them to transact
their appropriate business. Just such
a certificate as that or a statement
over the signature of the auditor
is what the PRESS asked the Trans.
continental to furnish the public and
the company failed to do so. Can it's
officers explain this failure! The
PRESS has no fight to make against
home insurance companies if they are
solid financially and have complied
with the laws of the territory: in this
we believe the TranscOntinental failed.
What it will do under the new order
of things we do not know and await
the result before making any com
ments, but II thing is sure it must
make a better showing than the ole
company.

Charles Clark, wealthy merchant from St.
Louis, on his way for a few weeks recrea-
ton to Helena, Mont, stopped at the Ryan
yesterday.
Theodore Roosevelt, politician, author and
ranchero, fresh from the Easily was at the Mer-
chants yesterday. He left last night for the
North. He goes out on his Montana rancho.
John f. Norrish was up from Hastings yes
terday. John is one of the hne-hared wire
pullers in Dakota county and he will make
an exceedingly lively hustle to get the re-
form school located in his town.
d. B. Leach, D. E. Myers and John Cooper,
three hustlers from st. Cloud, were ut the
Merchants yesterday. They mixed up fami-
iarly with the reform school commissioners
and it was apparent that they wouldn't object
to the location of that institution with them.
John Dillon and his dramatic company were
at the Merchants Yesterday, and left last
night to play ut Pennington. John Dillon
was at one time the leader in legitimate com
edy. but drink brought him down below his
own level. 1t didn't kill his genius, however.
and o-day he ranks with the best of them.
f. S. Tyler, public examiner OF North Da-
kota, appointed by Gov. Church in lieu of
Maj. Edwards, came in from Fargo yesterday
and registered at the Ryan. Mr.. Tyler was
ut one time one of the wealthiest citizens of
Fargo and owned the finest residence in the
Red river valley. 1t is now the residence of
G. w. Barnes, the wel-known grain and Gle
vatOt' man.
Hon. John D. Lawler, of Mitchell. Oak. n
member of the last territorial council, was n,
the Ryan yesterday. He had Just arrived
from Prairie du CHEN, Wis, where he had
been visiting his father. John LAWYER OF the
Milwaukee road. He says there is no truth
in the report that his father will probably be
the successor of Alexander Mitchell to the
presidency of the Milwaukee railroad.

The lecturer started from Cologne, that
city of seventy-two different odors, showing
the exterior and interior of the great
cathedral, the top of whose spire is 525
feet above the ground, which was finished
in 1880, after having consumed 632 years
in its erection; thence along the Rhine,
stopping at all the famous castles and
villages. every one of which has some
legend connected with it. AS the party
passes the spot where the fatal songs of the
Lorelei were sung, one may almost imagine
that he can hear the enchanting strains
OF the beautiful maiden which German
lyric poets have made so famous. The
party then passes on by ''Dear old Bingen
on the Rhine" through Heidelberg with its
famous castle, to Baden Baden, from which
have sprung so many gambling stories
which did not have their source in the edi-
torial sanctum. The efficient guide then
takes his party through the land of
Tell, showing the monument built
on the spot Tells son stood with the apple
on his head, though gorges and passes. the
scenery of which is more than beautiful; it
is sublime. All of the scenery about Mont
Blanc is shown in all in its werdness, and
when the lecturer finally bids good night to
his audience every one feels that the trip is
one which all might enjoy, and
one filled with historical interest.
During the intermission, by request of
number of people, Mr.. Raglan showed, in
